New Zealand Riverton Pt 1
Happy Good Friday, team. Today we’re cruising from Bluff to Riverton with a bit of everything — driveway antics, a stunning Easter sunrise, a Four Square stop, picking up a couple of hitchhikers, and a wander through Riverton’s history. No fluff, no filters, just real Southland life and a classic Kiwi tiki tour. Hope you enjoy the ride. 🎥 Filmed in: Bluff, Thornbury & Riverton / Aparima 📅 Date: April 3, 2026 🎙️ Channel: Covert Camping Chronicles ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Good Friday kickoff 0:06 Driveway setup and trailer talk 0:22 Spraying and security banter 0:32 Exit strategy 0:37 Power pole warning 0:47 Heading out for a drink 1:06 Easter sunrise 1:23 “It’s not AI” 1:56 Four Square stop 2:24 Easter Friday reflections 3:00 Neck injury update 3:30 Bluff food trucks 4:12 Fuel chat & heading to Riverton 4:28 Scenic route turnoff 5:07 Hitchhikers spotted 5:24 Turning around to pick them up 5:36 Hitchhikers onboard 6:12 Chatting about the drive 6:55 Bluff to Riverton beach walk 7:27 Thornbury detour 7:48 Arriving in Riverton 8:16 Railway bridge & old buildings 9:05 War memorial 9:42 Jacob’s River Estuary 10:01 Steam engine history 11:02 Boat ramps & river 11:33 Old Riverton port 12:28 Giant pāua 12:57 Heritage buildings 14:22 Big pāua close-up 14:48 Moores Reserve 15:19 Beautiful bay 15:46 Wrapping up – Part 2 tomorrow #bluffnz #riverton #southlandnz #kiwivlogger #goodfriday #tikitour #newzealandtravel
